An All-In-One
You know, to be complimented when you're in the library, looking like quite the crap in an oversized jacket, wearing a pair of converse sneakersm and face completely bare, feels so so good. :D
I've been enjoying and struggling like crazy with the same intensity. Okay, so maybe these past couple of days I've been taking things a little too lightly? But yeah.
NDP celebration in school. Okay that day, was a bit mad. Cos I went to school at nine, to do the walking experiment thing for Mr Bernard Tan, came slightly earlier, like 850? Met Shawn, Mai and Steph at the main gate, and shucks. The interview for the OCIP! So that was the something I knew I was forgetting but didnt quite know.
Headed over the track to meet Lionel and Leo. Goodness. It was just a terrible morning. And what timing. While lamenting on my bad fate that day, my phone made the sound it does when the batt's completely flat right before it auto shuts off. Perfect. Wow right. That happened, right after I was about to give up and let the bad things go its way. Talk about perfect timing.
Realised that I do have a bit of time, with this sudden spur of determination to NOT make it a bad day, I ran to the LT to check my venue for the interview, ran around Block A, then B, then A again. Got to the class, and OH MY GOSH. I CAN STILL MAKE IT.
Interview sailed smoothly, I say. (: Yesa. Third such interview this year now. If I dont ace this, I won't be a Happy Huda.
Did the walking thing, then headed back home. Mrs Esther Tan wasnt in school yet! So couldnt pass her the money. Didnt really wna pass the money indirectly, cos like I dont know. Money involved, you know? Not so much a matter of trust. More like a matter of being careful?
So then, headed back home. And I've a couple of hours before I head back to school to pass her the money, then head back home. And finally to school again, for the parade rehearsal and such. First round: bus, second round: papa, third round: cab.
I hope I said the Malay pledge without sounding weird or whatever. Been repeating the pledge over and over again over the weekend, trying to perfect the sounds and all. Bleh. Afifah stil made fun of me! You're a mean mean girl, you know that.
Thanksgiving Concert put up by our rockin teachers was nothing short of fab. (: I really enjoyed myself. Think we all did. The squeezing of the WHOLE school into the hall was pretty mad too. But we did it. (:
Adventure to Jalan Kayu after that to get some of 'em good pratas was fun too. Jalan Kayu's happening! Met Dirah's parents there! As well as Xianliang and his clan who came soon after! Coolness.
Going out and uh, "fostering closer bonds" with fellow council members have been lovely. If anything, I personally think that Saturday's Captain's Ball session was actually pretty darn necessary! I mean, hey, it's not easy these days to find time to do "lame", "unimportant" things like bonding when your Promos are right around the corner! (Such pleasing lines for the authoraties reading this, aye?)
Rush Hour 3 with Jaymond, Timteh and Elisha was nice too. Thanks for the treat you Piano/Sing-a-long buddy! (:
Furniture shopping with the above mentioned people plus Lijie, Andy and Lydia was fun too! Man, that was such a hectic day which got me running around all over the place!
A run through :
To school real early like by 7 and Father was kind enough to give me a lift. Ily Papa! Captain's Ball till noonish? It was good fun. Sweating it out and all. Then I've to rush and cab down to Aqidah's for PW. Which was so incredibly fruitful.
(If you didnt get that sarcasm, you really should try attending some classes to speed up the uh, thinking process. :D)
But still. Because I love my PW members, it was worth it. Aqidah you're a real peach! She's too cute sometimes lah. And Claudia! (: That silly ho was busy taking videos without us realising! And they were incredibly funny ones too. And wow, Claudia, myself and Lionel all left something behind at her place. :/
So then after that, I've to rush down to Marine Parade Library for tuition. I took a cab halfway totally panicking cos I had a bad experience with Mr High and Mighty I'm-A-Banker tutor last week. :/ Like, hello. I was only 5 minutes late and he seriously gave me a earful. Gosh, he was TWENTY minutes late on Saturday hokay. AND I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING.
But if it's any consolation, he's really good, I get him, cos he explains stuff well. The first lesson itself, when I found out he was a banker, I asked him point blank why he even bothers tutoring. I mean hello, the dude has a car and everything. A 9-5 job which pays well too. He likes Econs and Math a lot so yeahhh. Easy money anyway. My mum's considering a major cut down of MY ALLOWANCE. The horror.
Met Jason in the library itself. See, was panicking like a crazy cow cos there were NO SEATS in the friggin cafe and my mind was wheeling forward at this psychotic pace and still, hadnt a clue where to go should there really be no seats! I mean, third floor's confirm packed. The library's getting too hot for the masses.
Speaking of libraries, Marine Parade's too cool. Not only have I bumped into Jason, I've bumped into Nariah, Liyana, Joyce (waiting for Marian who was 2 and a half hours late!), Maziah and Mudd's pal Joanne! That, everyone, is way too happening.
So then, after Tutor left headed over (yes, still in my Orientation t and shorts since morning!) to Ikea to meet the rest.
I like being pushed around on the trolley! And I felt like buying the whole store man. Everything was so cheap and nice, and it doesnt look cheap which makes me want to buy them all, which kils the idea of "saving cost" in the first place! Manipulative, I say.
After a good sit down, and a debate over whether the full length mirror's needed, as well as a whole entire discussion about the difference/definitions/angles/opinions regarding Want and Need, (hurhur, Elisha and I VS Timteh + spectators, LOL) we finally decided what to buy and what not to. *wipes sweat. Decision making ain't ever easy, yeah? I hear a chorous of "yes" so that's comforting. (:
Ate and happily refilled the drinks as and when we pleased after getting the roughly 150 dollars worth of purchase. Shopping, we did. Can't wait for the council room to be revamped!
Okay. That was All Over the Place Saturday.
Today. (: Mudd's second band performance in two weeks. The first one being the one at NY's Film Festival where his friend's, Taufiq's, short film was unexpectedly a big hit! Great suspense man.
Unfortunately, the sound system SUCKED MISERABLY so the performance didnt go as well as expected. ): But still, screamed, I did! Grabbing unecessary attention, perhaps. But come on man. Moral support's the main objective! HEH.
Only the miserable lot of us supporting them! Najib, Zhi Jun, Matthew, Anthony, Mudd's sister, her boyfriend and myself. Terrible lah. Even like Taufiq, his schoolmates didnt cheer! :/
So anyway, today, bus-ed down to town with Najib. Freakin hell. I could've just taken 36 but the bugger made me walk all the way to Katong in my heels just to take 14 with him! And he didnt comment whatsover on my outfit when I was actually sort of fishing for one. Maybe it was too subtle. LOL. But Mudd did, so yay. Hello, I was using an 80s looking Guy Larouche purse okay! Mother's but still! With awesome heels! :D
Okay sorry. Back to the (intended) focus - Mudd. Jib and I entered when the band already started their first song. But still. Oh, they were great. Too bad there was way too little people in the crowd! But really awesome. (: Mentioned this before, overmentioning even, but hey, I'm proud of you Muddos! REALLY!
The whole band was clearly enjoying themselves when they were playing Starlight! LOL. Too cute please, their body language! (:
Oh and his dad dropped by! But uh, a couple of minutes late? But still. Bet that meant a lot, right Mud? (:

Baybeats! Only went for one night, and not even for that long a time. And it's scary that it's already Baybeats 2007. Two years back, anyone? We were all wearing black, for some reason and we went there after some Suntec fundraising thins thing for MLDDS.
06 was the celebration of Irah's 16, the surprise at Swensen's where we got her to do this dare and SOMEBODY gladly "fell for it" knowing what "it" went through! You're not supposed to get that, btw. 06 was where we mainly just sat by the rocks and camwhored, Lyon and Sathish, assigned photographers for the night.
Anyways, that Saturday (last) I was supposed to go on down to see the Dance competition thingy at DXO but uh. I was kinda late, till the thing ended already? LOL. But yeah. So just met up with J and Irah.
Bumped into a heck lot of people! Let's see. PLENTY of Cedarians. A bunch of juniors, including a shy Haryani lol, Diana (with the infamous boyfriend, I finally got to see!), Gordon, Khalid.. Hm. I remember seeing more people. But pardon the blogger. It's been a week! Hahah.
Somehow, I had an inkling that Fairuz, Diana and Clara would be there. Just this sense. And man, was I right! Really close at least! Chan was having dinner with Yingwai, Natasha, Sheena etc at the No Signboard Seafood Restaurant at Esplanade, Lock was at Lau Pa Sat and Cockroach was at the STEPS of Marina Square when I called! Cool or what. Bumped into her later at Starbucks anyways with Xin Ru and Grace. Oh yeah. Also saw this whole CLAN of J2 guys from SR at Marina.
Guys, (OG1 not the J2s you twat) we gotta meet for more than 30 seconds next time. (:
The 3 of us watched that dude perform and he was really awesome. Forgot his name. What is it again, Mariam? Well I loved his set. Like a good mix of John Mayer, Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson. The kind of chillout songs. Okay, maybe that was a bit of an overpraise? But nvm. He was good. I liked his songs.
After that was a good Raimah's session with Mariam. Was supposed to be Siglap but we were too lazy when we met at Kembangan. Just felt like I needed a girl talk, seriously out of nowhere. Recall the other time at BK Tamp? (:
So after chatting for god knows how long, along comes Najib riding his bicycle at about 1AM! HAHAH! Talk about coincidence. He was (jokingly) offended that we didnt ask him along, lol.
Okay, now about such bumping incidents. This other time, I was at Parkway to get some stuff that night, after school, and then after walking down the steps to the basement, I got a call form Najib telling me to "watch where I walk" cos he was right up there at Starbucks with Mariam and their friend Ameer. HAHAH. Too cool, I likezxzxzx. Marine Parade's awesome. Loving the cabbing to school with Cheryllek too!
Another thing to love? Hi, the beach is five minutes away, may I remind you. This morning kicked ass. I'm gna get healthier. Watch me.
ANYWAY. Back to that girl talk. Long overdue, I say. (:
This is utterly long, and a downright compilation of everything and anything. So let's continue piling now, shall we?
Oh yeah. We had the Council Dinner over at Shereen's place. That was rather nice too. (: Pictures, where are they! I've only a couple!
TUESDAY! SR's version of Be Yourself Day.
Literally dressing to kill! See, our theme was Mafias. So the A1 Mafias strutted about school decked in the best clothes, ready for murder with the guns and everything. :D My guns actually. Or rather my dad's.
Tabby and I made such a wise decision going to school together. Her mum picked me up at the St Pats bus stop, so I got to see Alvin and Scott for all of 30 seconds too. That morning was honestly quite crazy.
A1 was really looking hot. :D

I've tons more of pics to complement this entry but heck it. Another time okay? Like maybe I'll edit this post tmr or something. Depends heavily on my mood. (: Till then, I've got some work to do before I actually hit the bed. Sigh.
